Asterion Ventures

What they do

Founded in 2021 by former real estate entrepreneur Stéphane Bourbier, Asterion Ventures operates at the intersection of a traditional venture capital fund and a club deal network. The firm is powered by a community of over 850 to 1,200 seasoned investors, successful entrepreneurs, C-level executives, and family offices. Asterion is positioned as a pioneer in impact investing in France, focusing on sustainable innovations that drive profound economic and social transformation. They are highly regarded in the European ecosystem for their "patient capital" approach, acting as lead investors in early rounds and actively maintaining their pro-rata in subsequent growth stages.

What they look for

Asterion Ventures' core mission is "backing founders who repair the world." They finance sustainable innovations likely to cause serial shifts and contribute to the profound transformation of the economic and social system. They look for impact-driven entrepreneurs building companies that create new market benchmarks, establish themselves as leaders in their sector, and force entire industries toward better environmental or social practices. They heavily favor Climate Tech, DeepTech, and "AI for Impact" solutions that have a systemic approach to transition.
